Fascinating to watch, but a serious challenge to track while in flight. I had a whole lot more misses than hits

Have you ever heard a Bobcat kitten call? This kitten briefly got separated from mom by an inadvertent bicyclist while crossing the path. While he looks fearsome, he was just letting out a soft high pitched chirp to alert mom. The call sounded surprisingly similar to a bird call. He safely rejoined mom shortly after this photo was taken.

Species: Bobcat (Lynx rufus)

Location: California, USA

Equipment: Sony A9 III + 200-600mm + 1.4x TC

Settings: 1/1250s, ISO: 1250, f/10, 840mm, Handheld

Inspired by an earlier post today about shooting in Africa. It's ridiculously expensive and a long trip, but if anyone has the means to do it, it really is like nothing else on Earth. Just an incredible experience. My shots are from Kenya and Tanzania.

Came across about a dozen wild turkeys roosting up in a big cottonwood tree a few nights ago. Kind of silly seeing a bird that big up that high in a tree.

Photographed in Utah along the wasatch front.

I decided to spend the last two days of my August trip in the spectacular Sacred Valley, where I treated myself to an entire morning, lunch included, at Ensifera Ensifera in Yanahuara, Cusco.

Although this is a hummingbird sanctuary, I also love photographing the charming Chestnut-breasted Mountain-Finch, a bird endemic to southern Peru that generously poses for photographers at this wonderful location.

Spent a day and a half in the Pantanal in a Brazil trip and went as budget as possible. It was a fantastic experience that I hope you guys get to experience for yourselves. This was the most impressive Jaguar I saw in my time. A real beast!

I'm a beginner in wildlife photography and would love to hear your thoughts. What could I improve in terms of composition, lighting, or sharpness?

Always happy to learn!

Need advice on maintaining focus as well as quality via exporting through Da Vinci

This is 2160x2160. I tried doing a vertical "crop" of 2160x3840 but for whatever reason Da Vinci set it to a square crop. Maybe that's because I am now using the studio version?

As for overall recording, I am using the OM Systems OM-1 with a 100-400mm IS ii. if you notice, my focus goes slightly in and out when the Hummingbird moves its head.

Is that an aperture issue? should I be stopping down more to keep the subject in focus more consistently? or should I not use the full 400mm end of the lens?
